Protests over development of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in North Dakota led to more than 125 arrests and a highway blockade over the weekend, as pipeline opponents claimed “unceded territory” in the direct path of construction.

Meanwhile, local law enforcement fired on two unmanned media drones, claiming that "protesters attacked a helicopter with a drone," and that the helicopter pilot and passengers were "in fear of their lives."
The weekend developments marked a distinct heightening of tensions between self-proclaimed water protectors and law enforcement. Roadblocks went up on State Highway 1806 on Sunday, as water protectors declared eminent domain and set up a new winter camp on private land known as Cannonball Ranch. The property was recently purchased by Dakota Access pipeline company, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, developer of the pipeline.
This is going to get progressively more ugly as things devolve.
It appears as though the Seven Council Fires have drawn their line in the sand; the local, Federal, and Corporate forces which want to see this pipeline development happen will pull out all the stops to get this protest to fail, even at an horrific cost of human life.
Just think about Janet Reno's decisions regarding the Branch Davidians at Waco; it could even potentially be worse than that here in South Dakota.
